After waiting a long time for this item to be available in ‘4ft ‘ size…. I was excited to get my delivery .
 My reaction  disappointment when I opened the box, has to be seen to be believed !
Although the packaging  was intact  , the condition of the headboard was filthy  rusty 
AND it was enclosed within a plastic covering !
Most unacceptable !
  As I had waited so long ( months ) for this headboard , I opened one end , to see if the dirt  rust would wash away ( even though there was no way, it was desirable ). 
As I suspected , the black gritty dust wiped away ( on a small area -) but the orange rust marks remain! … and this is a white headboard  , for a pretty , feminine redecorated bedroom. 
There is no way that I am prepared to accept this item  request a replacement ( preferably )
